Steampunk Rubber Sheets

Okay, okay, I get it (100 emails later).  We are going to try something very different today...

I have an overwhelming request for the Steampunk Halloween and Winter Steampunks to be stocked in the store.  I have gotten many emails telling me how fast the Halloween Steampunks went and they had not gotten a chance to order them.  This seems to be the case with all steampunks.  

So, I am going to try this... a Pre-order!  Why a pre-order?  Well for one, it helps me calculate what to re-order on those that are out of stock without over ordering and then have them sit.  Second, it helps you all get what you want without sell outs.  Last, because it's something new I would like to try.  

This is what I will have available, and in full sheets, uncut, unmounted, non packaged...

3 Steampunk Rubber Sheets:

Misc. Steampunks Sheet #1

Steampunk Halloween Sheet #1

Steampunk Halloween Sheet #2

Each sheet will be available for $35.00 (normally, each stamp cost $8.49 you will be snagging these at $6.49, not available for Wholesale), and each rubber sheet will include an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cushion mount, for your mounting pleasure.  I know that many companies don't do the cushion mount thing, but I am convinced that it helps create a nice crisp clean stamped image.  And I just like it better!  LOL

These will not be shipping unti Feb. 1st.  They will not be stocked in the store, only those that place their orders for these by January 25th will have these.  They will not be available in the store until a much later time during the year... closer to Halloween, maybe the end of the year, maybe not at all depending on the pre-order sales. Again bare with me as we give this a try, it's something new to me.

You can find them here: Steampunk Rubber Sheets Pre-Order  

 I hope this will please a few of you out there, and thank you so much for the support and emails!  I love emails!  heh heh
